At least if we were Pens fans, our team would be getting blown out and the third periods wouldn’t be so painful.

There is no doubt that this one’s big on a Billy Baroo scale. They’re not winning this thing after going down 1-3 and losing two straight on home ice. The penalties have to stop. The pucks need to find space behind some Rinne ass and I’ve got to absolutely slaughter some slimey, motherfuching wogs.

Ah yes. For the first time in my Navy career, I’ve got a serious conflict between the playoffs and maritime tradition.

We cross over into the Raging Main at first light and the cleansing will begin soon after. More than a thousand Slimey Wogs infest this ship at the moment so it will be a long, torturous process…a process that will prevent me from even following along via the LB comments. For the first time in more than twenty years, I’ll find out the score of a playoff game well after its completion.

This isn’t a Game 7 but it’s damn close. Lose this one and we’ll be living by the sword and that’s not where Bullet Bob, King Neptune or Davey By God Jones wants us to be.

It’s a Live Blog, bitches and I’ll either be ravaging my way through the comments afterward or deleting them all in one big bitter fell swoop. Please baby Jesus. Please let it be the former.

Score first, what is it?
Im at Target filling a prescription for 800 Mg ibuprofen, because that’s just how much it would suck to lose 2 straight at home to the Wannabes.
Then I’m spreading some fertilizer on the grass ahead of the impending rain, then im starting to drink, well ahead of face off.

LGRW, Bitches.

Hells yes. I considered pouring it in the car, but thought better of it. A dude’s gotta get to work. And it’s blasphemous to pour it out….a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do.

“A creative Red Wings fan made it “NyQuist,” like a certain cold medicine with a similar name in an edited picture that made its way around fan circles online. Next to a bottle labeled “NyQuist Cold and Flu” is the slogan: “The Swedish skating, passing, dekeing, dangling, scoring, best production you ever got from a rookie in a long time … player.” www(dot)nhl(dot)com/ice/news.htm?id=628309

LGRW!

Give me strength to get through the rest because I think it’s eating through the glass of my decanter.
